How do we harvest Aloe leaves?
- They are harvested from mature Aloe plants which are 5 to 10 years old;
- It must not have rained for at least 5 days;
- The leaves must not be watered from up or down for at least 5/7 days;
- They are harvested and wrapped in the dark/dim light;
- The leaves are taken from the plant through an incision, no loss of gel.
How to clean the Aloe Vera leaves
- The leaves should be processed in the dark/dim light;
- The leaves should not be watered or soaked in water;
- Clean the leaves well with a slightly damp cloth;
- Make the preparation as soon as possible and keep the leaves in the lower part of the fridge;
- For those more sensitive, to reduce the impact of the aloin, I suggest removing well the white part (the attachment of the leaves to the plant) and once the leaves have been cut into pieces, let the gel drain for about fifteen minutes..
Is it better the ready-to-use product or the leaves?
Many people ask me to buy plants and they often end up having the house, the terrace, the garden, full of Aloe Arborescens plants. This is because many people often have the need to consume many leaves, perhaps for themselves or for the whole family.
Why should you buy an Aloe Vera plant:
- To have fresh leaves always available;
- To have a beautiful plant and a decent ornament close to you;
- I love green and I like it that way;
- I do not have a pet, but I like to take care of the plants.
